It's a Wednesday, and I've hit my moment of overwhelm... I walk in the door of my house to find a pile of laundry that's been sitting on the couch since last Wednesday, like snow on a mountain in winter, it seems to grow with each passing day. The dishes from breakfast are in the...Continue reading

The Real Results of The Jeff & Paige Membership Drive: A Poem, Mr. Farts, and a Vision of a Climate Resilient Community.
Membership Drive Results -- in Poetry form by Paige I begin with a goal-- 400 new members-- that seems reasonable enough. After all I watched "Field of Dreams" with Kevin Costner in 1989. "If You Build it They Will Come." I'll put this out to our audience and they will come... They don't. 1989 was...

March 2020 -- The Laugh Beyond Anxiety We are watching Every. Single. Carefully booked. Gig, camp, and public appearance in our 2020 projected earnings budget disappear. It is shocking, so shocking that when I talk with a colleague about it and they ask “Are you stressed, How are you holding up?” I laugh. “This, this...
A Day in the Life of Jeff of Paige: In Love With Nature in a Whole New Way
This was a man who wanted to escape “Into the Alpine” and take my bicycle and ride to the periphery. This was a man who wanted to disconnect from the human community in order to delve deeper into the natural world. Now, at the age of 39, with a 4-year old of my own and a new little one on the way, I’m way more likely to take a short walk in the field behind our house with Paige and Wolf than to explore those alpine valleys where wildflowers grow.

A moment of annoyance passes through. Not at all!
